The
gift shop at Finns Point is open. This represents
the culmination of almost a yearlong effort in
planning and
communications between NJLHS, the Supawna meadows
friends Group, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
The fixtures and cabinets used for the effort were
once at home in out successful Sandy Hook shop.
After NJLHS departed Sandy Hook, plans started to
develop on how we could use our investment in order
to help preserve other lighthouses. This was also
the timing of a renewed effort to bring more tourism
to Finns Point Lighthouse. Over multiple weekends
and with the help of many volunteers and
specifically Al Smith, who knows more about building
up and tearing down lighthouse gift shops that
anyone should ever have to, the Finns Point/NJLHS
gift shop is up and running and helping to secure
funds for another deserving New Jersey Lighthouse.
More is planned
